Video Processing
Video provides a stream of images that need to be processed and analysed for a variety of different applications. Geographical modelling and human behaviour modelling are just two of the areas where RIVIC researchers are using video processing techniques.
Projects
-
Image manifolds as a way of representing the appearance of objects
Images of objects (such as a rotating teapot, views from a camera mounted on a robot, an actor illuminated from different positions on a hemisphere, etc.)
-
Modelling the Change in 3D Head Dynamics and Appearance
The development of 3D (and also 2D) statistical models of facial dynamics with applications to medical/dental, computer graphics, animation and computer vision.
-
Non-photorealistic rendering
The team in Cardiff have developed their approach using computer vision techniques to produce a combination of lines and tonal blocks (black and also white for highlighting) to create an abstracted artistic rendering.
-
Quantifying image quality in computer graphics
This project is indented to provide means of comparing computer graphics results in a possibly effective and accurate way.

Sports Visualization Video
Technology is playing an ever-increasing role within sports, including the ability to collect substantial amounts of video data on player performance both in training and live-match scenarios.
